ABOUT
ABOUT
The Mental Health and Substance Abuse Fund of Southwest Iowa Fund was created to enhance the reach and capacity of our nonprofit service providers around their ability to educate the public, provide preventative solutions, and internal training to increase the capacity and ability of the providers.
With mental health, drug and alcohol abuse and addiction, teen suicide, isolation and stigma all at the forefront of community conversations, there is a need for solutions that create lasting and durable positive impact.
How are we, as a community, focusing on the families and individuals affected by mental health and substance abuse issues? How can we amplify the work of our service providers in a way that increases their internal capacity for service to the needs of our community while addressing issues of stigma and access to services?
